Simplest would probably be to use split with second argument 1 or partition method four times and return or yield those as values, joining together if you really need the lines as one chunk.

Data length is data length and will be the same no matter where you split. If you read one record at a time instead of the entire file it should not be a problem. More info is necessary though. What code are you using and how big is the file. In today's gigabytes of memory world, very few files are too large so it may also be something else that is causing the problem,
